Online learning is increasingin enrollment and importance in engineering education. Online courses also continue to confrontissues with comparatively higher course dropout levels than face-to-face courses. This

In addition to certain technical skills, essential 21st-century skillsinclude communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. A well-known learningtheory that helps students learn these skills is cooperative learning. Cooperative learning positsthat when students collaborate within teams to solve complex problems, their creativity andcritical thinking skills are improved as a result. Implementing cooperative learning in the pastseveral months has been challenging due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The sudden shift fromface-to-face to online instruction, has left a void for newer pedagogical approaches to teachteamwork. In this full paper, we investigate

CybersecurityPBL’s job placement benefits may not be critical for students seeking employment incybersecurity – though job preparation benefits of PBL undoubtedly are – as, at present, there isa critical worldwide need for graduates with cybersecurity skills [20]. This need is only expectedto grow. Between late 2019 and late 2020, over 500,000 cybersecurity positions needed to befilled [21] and greater need is projected in the future. Many of these positions require keyresearch-related skills to understand and effectively respond to new and changing situations.In addition, cybersecurity research is acutely needed to develop new computing approaches thatavoid

Our work was guided by the following research questions: 1. What were the key limiting factors for reaching project milestones and overall project success on a virtual team? 2. What strategies did students adapt to address challenges unique to virtual teams?MethodsWe collected open-ended survey and interview data using institutional review board (IRB)approved procedures.

peers, students wouldexperience less peer support, this research question sought to explore whether this was indeedthe case. If students report less peer support in remote settings, we can likely attribute suchreductions, in whole or in part, to the reduced opportunities for peer-to-peer interactions. If,however, students report more peer support, no differences in peer support, or inconsistent levelsof support between the two settings, then we must look at other possible causes to explain thesedifferences. One potentially important influence on perceptions of peer support could be a shiftin student expectations. In the process of adjusting to remote learning, students’ expectations forthe type and amount of peer support they might receive may

Working through the Illinois Global Institute,a home department was identified to coordinate concurrent sections of the seminar in each ofthree colleges of the university, and Working Group members obtained course approvals tocreate concurrently meeting sections of the seminar. Using this process, no one college or schoolis the seminar host, eliminating a sense of primacy among student registrants.

RLC on StudentsThe three tenets of the situated learning framework served as the theoretical lens to understandexperiences of novice learners within the DMLC. This pilot study revealed that students found theexperience positive for all three tenets of situated learning. Social interaction among studentsrevealed evidence of intrapersonal conflict. We need to study reasons for conflict as well asstrategies students use to overcome them. Additional research is needed to evaluate students overa period of a year, so that we can understand how students’ perception of context, socialinteraction, and authentic learning change over time. Identifying challenges along with benefitsare important for the design of improved RLCs in the future. Future

students in different fieldswill have different levels of wellbeing as well as perceptions of stress, competition, andachievement. This relationship is hypothesized because they would be socialized in differentcharacteristics that are deemed particular to their fields. In this exploration, we first use largegroups to identify any specific differentiation of engineering compared against the other twolarge categories considered. However, future work will involve the exploration of differencesbetween engineering and specific majors individually.MethodsDataWe used data from the Healthy Minds Study (HMS), a web-based survey administered throughthe Healthy Minds Network for Research on Adolescent and Young Adult Mental Health(HMN).

Wang and Wang [9] formalized the use of Strategic Options Development and Analysis (SODA) maps – a type of conceptual model developed for operations research – as a tool for teaching systems thinking in a classroom setting. The SODA map allowed students to practice collaborative and higher level problem-solving by deriving and visualizing different strategies for a case study. Eppler [12] discussed applications of concept maps in the classroom and the benefits of complementary visualization by combining different mapping methods to enable a “richer learning experience for students.” Tranquillo et al.

as part of a dual level(undergraduate and graduate) elective course on science diplomacy.IntroductionScience diplomacy – the triune approach of: 1) scientists acting as diplomats; 2)diplomats facilitating scientific collaboration; and 3) cultural diplomacy via scientificgatherings and international exchange – is both a long-standing and a recently re-emergedaspect of international relations [1]. For example, the first Ambassador of the UnitedStates was inventor-scientist Benjamin Franklin, and the first Secretary of State wasfarmer-scientist Thomas Jefferson. More recently, in 1961, Article 3 of the ViennaConvention on Diplomatic Relations was written to highlight that, “the functions of adiplomatic mission consist, inter alia, in
of the field and its innovations[18]. One network analysis study ofcommunity and collaboration, for example, revealed a lack of diffusion across the engineeringeducation research (EER) community, and the network analysis illustrated the shape of thediscipline’s network. The authors then used the analysis to locate disciplinary pockets as well asareas and topics of interests. In this article, we follow scholars outside the field to take morenarrow approach[20]: rather than explore a network to discover themes or locate topics ofinterest, we instead interrogate one particular topic, intersectionality, to understand the way thefield has used the term, the way it has gathered around particular key texts, and the citationaltendencies that support

Therefore, the computing education research community (CER)have explored pedagogies to improve computing students' learning outcomes based on existinglearning theories. Few studies have reviewed pedagogies in the context of social constructivism.Social constructivism is a learning theory defined as the collaborative co-construction ofknowledge. Social constructivist pedagogies have enhanced learning outcomes for minoritizedwomen in other STEM fields, but their effects have not been studied extensively in CER.
